The Country Mouse & The City Mouse

Whether you’re headed to the shore or setting off for a night on the town, the uniform has you covered—white denim for the country mouse; organza for the city mouse.

One uniform. Two personalities.

Soft greys, chalky whites, and sheer layers blur the line between city dressing and country ease, taking you through the summer and well into the fall.

My favorite summer layer? Barely there.

Weightless layers elevate the everyday. Swap your blazer for organza—be it a trench, a cardigan, or a chore coat. Brands like Frame, Renggli, Apparis, and rag & bone are all speaking in whisper-thin layers—and we’re leaning in.

Summer’s biggest flex: white. Warmer months are the perfect time to introduce white denim—though I love it for winter, too. Enter the white jean, the white cutoff, and the white drawstring—summer incarnate.

A veil of grey softens summer white. Accessories reign supreme during the sultrier season. A grey sandal, sunny, or necklace adds definition and ground a head-to-toe white palette. Beachside, keep accessories more streamlined—use a bit of raffia or a shell necklace to accent a grey tank. Layer with intention for a night in the city—add grey organza, a silver pendant, a grey woven bag.
